Just had a quick look through the list. I didn’t see much so far but I did see Mummers.ca. What is a Mummer you ask?

“Also known as mumming or janneying, it typically involves a group of friends or family who dress in disguise and visit homes within their community or neighbouring communities during the twelve days of Christmas. If the mummers are welcomed into a house, they often do a variety of informal performances that may include dance, music, jokes, or recitations.”

I was born in Newfoundland so it’s been a tradition there for many years.

isolate.ca - I like it
awoken - maybe an anti woke site

Forgot to add this part in from Wikipedia.

“Mummering, or mumming, is a Christmas-time house-visiting tradition practised in Newfoundland and Labrador, Ireland, City of Philadelphia, and parts of the United Kingdom”.

Found it interesting that the city of Philadelphia celebrate it. There must be quite the history behind that.

Thank you for that great insight. I wouldn’t have guessed it either.
